Get feedback on your LinkedIn posts from anyone — even people outside your workspace! The Public Feedback Link feature allows you to share your posts with external reviewers and collect their feedback before publishing.

The Public Feedback Link feature allows you to generate a unique, secure link that lets external reviewers:
- View your post exactly as it will appear on LinkedIn
- Rate your post with a 1-5 star rating
- Leave comments with suggestions or approval
- Submit feedback anonymously or with their name and email

How to Use the Feature
Step 1: Enable the Public Feedback Link
When viewing a post in your workspace, you can enable a public feedback link:
- Navigate to your post in the workspace
- Click on the "Share for Feedback" button (link icon) in the post actions
- Toggle "Enable Public Link" to ON
- The system will generate a unique, secure URL for your post
What happens:
- A unique link is generated for your post
- You can now share this link with anyone
Step 2: Share the Link
Once enabled, you have two ways to share your post for feedback:
Option A: Copy & Share the Link Manually
- Copy the generated public URL from the modal
- Share it via email, Slack, WhatsApp, or any messaging platform
- Anyone with the link can view your post and submit feedback
Option B: Send via Built-in Email (Recommended)
Send professional feedback requests directly from the app:
- In the Public Link tab, scroll to "Share via Email"
- Add up to 10 recipients at once
- Enter each person's:
- Name (optional, but personalizes the email)
- Email address (required)
- Click "Send Link"
What happens:
- Each recipient receives a beautifully designed email with:
- Your name and workspace
- A preview of your post content
- A prominent "Give Feedback" button
- The direct link for copy/paste
- Successfully sent emails are tracked in the Shared tab
Step 3: Reviewers Submit Feedback
When someone clicks your public feedback link, they see:
The Feedback Page
- Post Preview — Your post content displayed exactly as it will appear on LinkedIn, including:
- Post text content
- Custom images
- Infographics
- Carousel PDFs
- Star Rating — Reviewers can rate your post 1-5 stars (required)
- Comment Box — Space for detailed feedback or suggestions (optional)
- Name & Email — Optional fields so you know who provided feedback
Privacy & Security
- Anonymous feedback allowed — Reviewers can leave feedback without providing personal info
- Spam protection — Limited submissions per hour to prevent abuse
- No account required — External reviewers never need to create an account
Step 4: View & Manage Feedback
As the post author or workspace member, you can view all collected feedback:
View All Feedback for a Post
- Open the Public Link modal from your post
- Click on the "Feedback" tab
- See all collected feedback with:
- Average rating across all feedback
- Total feedback count
- Individual feedback entries with reviewer details (if provided)
- Star ratings for quick assessment
- Comments for detailed insights
- Submission timestamps
Email Notifications
When someone submits feedback:
- You receive an email with the reviewer's rating, comment, and a link to view all feedback
- Email includes:
- Reviewer name (or "Anonymous")
- Star rating
- Full comment text
- Direct link to view all feedback in your workspace
Step 5: Disable the Link (When Done)
Once you've collected enough feedback or published your post:
- Go back to your post and open the Public Link modal
- Toggle "Enable Public Link" to OFF
- The public link immediately becomes inactive
Important notes:
- Disabling the link does not delete existing feedback — you keep all collected feedback
- You can re-enable the same link later if needed
- Anyone with the old link will see a "Post Not Available" message
